has yet been In his own country. His man
nef wal modest and affable, and he captured
the hearts Of the crowds and bowed again
and again. It was not until Devonshire house
was reached that the queen realized the
grand preparations that had been made to
greet her. Here the marquis of Harrington
had q spacious gallery erected, from which
many hundreds Of gaily dressed ladies
waved their handkerohiefs and cheered the
queen. Facing Devonshire house at the Bath
hotel, another gigantic booth had been
erected, and from this point to Westminster
abbey every point of vantage had been
seized by contractors to AZ seats. On
reaching Regent circus. where six
q memorable one, the streets being all
ever greens, etc. The procession, as viewed
down the hill from the circus to Pail Mall
OF the people were heard from<tEe top of
the column as n vast roar. Many Ameri-
can ladies and gentlemen had secured seats
at a palatial commercial establishment in
Waterloo place, and joined in the enthusi-
asm as warmly as the English. Passing
around Pail Mall east Trafalgar square was
reached, and everywhere one looked
nothing but heads were to be seen. The
crowd here was tremendous, and CON-
pletely eclipsed any that has assembled at
the greatest political gatherings Of recent
years.
SOME PEOPLE SUFFER.
While the procession was passing through
Pail Mall, the weather having turned very
warm, three persons In that thoroughfare
were sunstruck. A number Of persons
along the route were crushed into insensi-
bility, and were removed to hospitals Sew
eral policemen were overcome by heat and
taken home in ambulances. The horse rid
den by the marquis OF Lorne was FESTIVE and
threw the marquis, but did not injure him.
On reaching the Thames e~mbankment the
procession had to make q detour almost at
right angles. FROM the new National Ii
brary club to St Stephens club the enthu-
siasm was indescribable. Men clambered
up in the trees In such number as to damage
them. All along the Thames embankment,
where not occupied by public gardens, seats
and galleries had been erected. II passes
comprehension how the military and police
managed to keep a way along the Thames
open for the progress of the
queen. Ambulances were busy here, more
persons being crushed and disabled along
this part Of the route than any other. Here,
az everywhere, the enthusiasm provoked by
the queens presence was overwhelming. On
into Bridge street, around St
Stephens club, her majesty obtained a full
view of the abbey and the preparations
which had been made in Parliament square.
ground floor Of the abbey was concealed
by the lofty grand stand, called St Mar
garet's, the seats Of which were sold for five
each. Another block Of seats called
The Caring Stand" accommodated 1,4OO
persons.
IN THE ABBEY.
On the procession nearing the abbey the
troops saluted, guns were fred, the bells of
the churches rang out merry peals, and
flags were run up, the cheering being con-
until the queen had passed into the
west door. After passing through the vesti-
bule, her majesty was conducted, TO. the
grand dais under the lantern tower. She
was surrounded by t~hirty-two members OF,
the royal family. The scene in the abbey
when the queen entered was dazzling. Ten
people were seated The women
discarded their wraps and revealed the full
Of their beauty and attire. Three
Tiers of galleries had been builtin the abbey,
with seats for ten thousand. The peers and
their wives were seated in the south trans
cept. The ambassadors were seated right and
left of the peers. Members Of the house of
commons were placed in the north trans
cept The seats for members of the royal
of Europe, ETC., were within the
communion rails. All the great learned
societies and corporations were represented,
the notables Of the law, science, art
and agriculture and w~orkingmen from all
parts of the United Kingdom had seats duly
assigned them. The queen was noticeably
pale when she reached the dais. She soon,
however, recovered, and regained her bright
and pleasant aspect
THE SERVICES
in the abbey in commemoration of the

carefully prepared programme. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and the dean of West
muster alone conducted them. Nearly

however, was present, beside a great nnm-
Der of distinguished clergymen belonging to
other denominations. The queens advent

prepared for the queens coming, by render

the queen reached the abbey and the royal
procession was forming In the marquee out
side the west door, the state trumpeGers, in
gold and crimson uniforms, executed fan
fares from the organ loft, nearly in the CEN

head of the royal procession moved into the
church the national anthem was rendered
by the organ. The music was thrilling. The
audience rose as a unit, and lent their ten
voices to accompany the choir.
The effect was so grand, so profound, that
many persons were moved to tears. 1t was
at this moment that the queen appeared
within the doors. Then the singing of the

given by the organ during the progress Of
